Know The Difference Between Biochar And Charcoal
Biochar is one of the type of charcoal that is used as a soil amendment for both soil health benefits and carbon sequestration. Biochar is a stable solid and is rich in carbon; also, it can endure in soil up to thousands of years. Like most of the charcoal, biochar is also made from biomass through pyrolysis. Various research is going on biochar as a viable approach for carbon sequestration since it has the capabilities to help mitigate climate change and global warming.
Biochar can increase soil fertility of acidic soils (low pH soils), increase agricultural productivity, and provide protection against some foliar and soil-borne diseases. By nature, biochar is hygroscopic. Hence, it is a desirable soil material in many locations due to its ability to attract and retain water. When biochar is used for energy production instead of a soil amendment, it can be directly substituted for other application that uses coal. Pyrolysis can also be the most cost-effective way of electricity generation from biomaterial.
Leading Players are Agri-Tech Producers, LLC, Biochar Products, Inc., Biochar Supreme LLC, Cool Planet Energy Systems Inc., Diacarbon Energy Inc., Earth Systems PTY. LTD., Pacific Pyrolysis, Phoenix Energy, The Biochar Company, Vega Biofuels, Inc.
The biochar market has witnessed a significant
growth owing to factors such as a wider application of biochar in electricity
generation, agriculture & farming, forestry, and others. Increasing demand
for various products in organic farming is one of the major factors influencing
the growth of the biochar market. In addition to that, the growing use of
biochar in the water treatment process is further anticipated to be another
important growth factor supported by rising demand for water treatment
facilities, particularly in emerging economies. However, factors such as high
cost of the end product and lack of incentives & tax rebates may hamper the
market growth for biochar in the near future. Nevertheless, with the steady
growth in the agrochemical and agriculture industry, the market players have
the opportunity to invest in the biochar market.
